NETFLIX: The most streamed shows of 2017

ONLINE television streaming goliath Netflix has released its much-anticipated "most watched" shows list in 2017, compiling the figures on its biggest hits, including the ones we watched ahead of our beloved partners, friends and family.

Netflix broke their rankings down into four categories, including the "most devoured" -- which users viewed for more than two hours a day.

Streaming services are a little wary of releasing detailed figures on what users watch, because the market is so competitive.

While Netflix has tapped into huge smash hits through original content, the monsters of Game of Thrones and The Walking Dead remain on key competitor Foxtel Go

The list is not without its surprises. While the much-hyped and critically acclaimed 13 Reasons Why and Riverdale were both in the top 10, it was the Oprah Winfrey-produced drama Greenleaf set in a Memphis megachurch that drove the most hardcore binging.

Orange is the New Black has been a major hit for Netflix.

Orange is the New Black topped the list for "cheatworthy" shows -- those that we watched with our friends or family but couldn't help skipping ahead with.

And the most wholesome of the lists, 'Watch together', the shows we most likely consumed as a family or group.

Perhaps the strangest quirk of the list though, is knowing that someone in Australia watched Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted about once per day, or 352 times, through 2017.

It's unclear whether this was an adult or child, but that's a whole lot of jungle comedy.
